In the row of Pedagogy, Andragogy and Heutagogy are the teaching and learning methods in the field
of teacher education. After 2000 the Heutagogy in education slowly developed outside India. This study
has 355 articles published in 275 sources and finds out 2021 has more papers published, got 3.27
percent average citation per article from 2007 to 2022, Na Na is the most prolific author to published
papers in Heutagogy. This study also found that the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in
Learning journal is the top journal of publications in heutagogy, Australas. Soc. Comput. Learn. Tert.

Introduction
Pedagogy is one of the leading teaching technology in education and it has academic subject cum in
theoretical aspects. Andragogy is the one learning method specific for adult learners and it focuses on
self-directed learning with own’s experience and other experience in learning. Heutagogy (pronounced
hyoo-tuh-goh-jee) is a term derived from the Greek word "heuriskein". According to Graham R.
Parslow, "Heureskein is the Greek verb to discover and underlies the etymology of the word "heuristic"
that is defined as a method of teaching by allowing students to discover for themselves. Heutagogy was
first defined by Stewart Hase and Chris Kenyon (2000), both from Australia, as the study of self-
determined learning. The theory applies a holistic, humanistic approach to developing learner capacity
and capability and makes learners “the major agent in their own learning, which occurs, as a result of
personal experience” (Hase & Kenyon, 2007, p. 112). In self-determined learning, learners not only
define what they will learn, but how they will learn it – and are given full agency of their learning
environment, content, and process. Heutagogy was developed in the 21st century from outside India.
Last 20 years scientometrics studies have become familiar in the library and information science
subjects in India. ). This study obtained visualization on research networks offers valuable insights and
an in-depth understanding of the key researchers, institutions, fundamental articles, and salient topics
through mapping analysis. animated maps. We also identify that this scientometric review offers useful
reference points for budding researchers and provides valuable in-depth knowledge to experienced
researchers and practitioners in the field of a particular area of this study.

workforce, especially in the era of industry 4.0, as part of sustainability. This article consolidates
intellectual production and the evolution of the field of smart working and sustainability research with a
socio-technical approach, using the analysis of scientometrics technology. The results are discussed
from the perspective of the author using the relevance of the journal, the keywords, and the relevance
of the article and its citations. We provide a comprehensive view and review of smart working and
sustainability studies using a socio-technical approach. At the end of the article, there is a discussion
about the implications and limitations of research.
Leonard Heilig, Stefan Vob (2014) explored this study that , the popularity and rapid development of
cloud computing in recent years has led to a huge amount of publications containing the achieved
knowledge of this area of research. this study applies scientometric means to empirically study the
evolution and state of cloud computing research with a view from above the clouds. The results of this
study provide a better understanding of patterns, trends and other important factors as a basis for
directing research activities, sharing knowledge and collaborating in the area of cloud computing
research. Sheng Jiang , Junwei Ma, Zhiyang Liu and Haixiang Guo (2022) Geohazard prevention and
mitigation are highly complex and remain challenges for researchers and practitioners. Artificial
intelligence (AI) has become an effective tool for addressing these challenges. Therefore, for decades,
an increasing number of researchers have begun to conduct AI research in the field of geohazards
leading to rapid growth in the number of related papers. 9226 scientometric records from the Web of
Science core collection database. Multiple types of scientometric techniques, including coauthor
analysis, co-citation analysis, and cluster analysis were employed to identify the most productive
researchers, institutions, and hot research topics. The results show that research related to the
application of AI in the field of geohazards experienced a period of rapid growth after 2000, with major
developments in the field occurring in China, the United States, and Italy. This scientometric analysis
and visualization are promising for reflecting the global picture of AI-based geohazard research
comprehensively and possess potential for the visualization of the emerging trends in other research
fields.

Conclusion
Heutagogy in education is a 21st-century learning method in education and slowly started from outside
India. It is one of the advanced learning methods in the current scenario and adopted in a few countries.
The analysis of the research productivity in Heutagogy revealed a slow increase the publications from
2007 to 2022. Teacher educators are more concentrated on this learning method for contributing the
articles and also adopting the technology in our country.
